In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her companion of many years, Johnnie Benton.
Shirley worked many years at the Crisp Sales as the office manager until 1996, when Shirley quit her job to stay home with Sammie so that her daughter-in-law could work. Shirley easily made this decision, as she loved Sammie from the very beginning. One of her greatest joys was spoiling Sammie. Shirley was also the owner of Brocks Mobile Home Park in Leland for 37 years, where she enjoyed meeting the different people in the area.
Shirley loved gardening, doing yard work, watching Nascar, and feeding and watching the birds. Her favorite Nascar driver was Jimmie Johnson. She enjoyed going to watch the Nascar races in person with Johnnie, as well as going camping and fishing with him.
Shirley is survived by her son, Jon Jason Anderson (Wanda); granddaughter, Samantha Dawn Anderson; and of course her dogs, Dolly and Button, whom she loved very much.
The Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 pm on Sunday, January 30, 2022 at Coble Funeral and Cremation Services at Greenlawn Memorial Park; 1155 Shipyard Blvd, Wilmington, NC.
